For My Valentine

I looked and looked for a valentine card for Josh and just couldn't find one I really liked this year. I usually get him some dark chocolate which he likes, too, but this year I got a little bit more creative.

I bought a bag with a bunch of Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares in it. This is the 16th Valentine's Day Josh and I have been together, so I typed up 16 slips of paper that have a sentence or a phrase on them relating something about us or our lives to the numbers 1-16. Then I took out 16 of the chocolates and taped one slip to each of the 16 chocolate wrappers and hid them around the house where Josh will find them ... in his socks, by his alarm clock, in his shoes, by his razor, etc. Then gave him a letter that told him what I'd done and how he didn't have to look for the chocolates right away but rather I hoped he would find them unexpectedly and they would put a smile on his face the same way thinking about him puts a smile on mine.
